A member asked:

Is weight gain after a hysterectomy normal?

Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

No: As long as you did not have your ovaries removed, you should not experience any changes in your weight. Some women immediatley after surgery have increased weight due to stored fluids from the inflammatory state that occurs after a surgery, however over the long run, weight gain would not be expected.
